Oedipus the king
Storyboard Text
- Oedipus the King by Sophocles - episode 5
- A messenger from the plalace enters and sees that Jocasta, the queen has taken her life.
- oh, my god
- Citizens of Thebes! Here is the thing quickest for me to say and you to hear, Jacosta, our queen, is dead.
- The horrors I have suffered and done. Be dark forever now - I need to be blind from the world. Hide me somewhere outside Thebes, kill me, thorw me into the sea,
- Everyone is gone, off the stage, we are here to describe everything, wrap things up. Look at Oedipus here, who knew the answer to the famous riddle was a power in the land. On his good fortune all the citizens gazed with envy. We must call no man happy while he waits to see his last day, not until he has passed the border of life and death without suffering pain.
- Oedipus blinded himself, he struck his eyes again and again
- We are the chorus, we would like the mention that Oedipus would be better off dead than blind. He did a dreadful thing. We cannot say if he made the correct decision. Creon will listen to your request. Everything is up to him now that he has taken your place.
- Banish me, where no man can see or speak to me. Send me to exile away from thebes. I am hateful to the gods above all men
- I have not come here to mock you, Oedipus. Or to reproach you for the wrong you did. What is it you want me to do? I should ask the god Apollo. I take it you will believe what he has to say.
- the stasimon
